Objection handling is a critical sales skill. The best approach: anticipate objections before they arise, acknowledge them honestly, and reframe with data. The top 5 B2B objections are: (1) Price too high, (2) We're happy with current solution, (3) We don't have budget, (4) Need to talk to someone else, (5) Not the right time.
